[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i've heard some good things re jefferson middle school in particular.  "Jefferson offers accelerated and intervention courses for students at all levels, as well as a variety of enrichment courses - including Project Lead the Way and Coding."  i don't myself really understand why in-bound dcps elementary school families often choose to commute to really far to latin or to attend basis instead.[/quote]

Because of the high school path, duh. And most of the students and families at these schools appear satisfied with their children’s education. 
Is that quote from Jefferson? Beware marketing speak, the reality rarely measures up.[/quote]

+1 it doesn't matter how much people will report good experiences at Jefferson, S-H, or E-H, many families will opt out for charters or other options because very few parents actually want to send their kid to Eastern and you have no guarantee of getting a spot at an application HS (all of which also require a long commute anyway). So it's charters, privates, or moving if you go to one of the Ward 6 MSs. Of those three, charters is the only one that doesn't cost money or totally uproot your lives, it's no wonder many families choose them if they are lucky enough to get spots.[/quote]
